IMPROVED MACHINE FOR RAISING CARRIAGES, 80G.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N o. 34,427, dated February 18, i862.

To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it knownl that I, EDGAR HUSON, of the town of Ithica, county of Tompkins and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Machine for Raising Carriages for the Purpose of Repairing or Greasing and for Raising other Heavy Veight-s or Bodies, which machine I call a carriage-jackg and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the const-ruction and operationof the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, in which- Lett-er A is the slide with ratchet firmly attached.

Letter B is the ratchet.

Letter C isthe standard.

Letter D is the joint on which1 the lever plays. Y

Letter E is the joint on which the lever and loop play.

Letter F is a loop Working on the joint at the head of the lever and playing on the ratchet in such a manner that when the lever is pressed down against the standard the loop will fall outside the joint D on which the lever plays, thus holding the slideA and the lever in position.

Letter G is a lever so constructed that when pressed down against the standard C a line drawn from joint E to the point where the loop plays on the ratchet Will fall outside the joint D on which the lever plays.

Letters H H are bands firmly attached to l What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent` is- Such a combination of the lever, loop, joints,

and ratchet for a carriage-jack as that when the Weight is raised and the lever pressed down against the standard the slide is supported and upheld without any fastening by the support of the loop which falls outside the joint D.
